I bought the beautiful (well, a little torn still see photo) about 5 years ago (it dates from 1961). Beware: it refers to any microphone that does not hesitate to throw it all on the road! But if you're a lagoyesque or satrianesque accuracy, you just make yourself a friend, the handle!įor sound, I plugged into an old Fender (incredible, is not it?) Or on the Mesa F50 and. The sound is a crystalline, a truly incredible clarity, an unfathomable depth! Attention, the handle does not support something like that. Still, you would put Senna in a nice car, it would end just ke Grand Prix of Brazil. I hear "This is the guitar that makes the sound." True. If you have called "extensions doigtales" prostheses (If it exists! M'l'a It says that), do not hesitate.įor sound, two buttons and a volume and tone. For 50 years, we have found different tricks to make it more feasible these famous little boxes that are becoming smaller from the octave. Balanced guitar with access to acute "stratocastérien". who knows?Ĭhannel dream comfortable as a Cadillac 57 '! Too bad it's so short (21 frets). It might be cool with some mods, but then you're sinking more money into an instrument that might be better left just hanging on the wall to say you own a vintage piece. Once the novelty of it being a US made vintage Fender wears off, you start to see that it's just your average guitar. The CBS era models are not made all that well and the tones really don't make me want to run to buy one. It's really only worth using in a grunge or punk context where the tones are not of the concern, but rather just having something loud and brash for jumping around.Īll in all I think this guitar is an interesting yet not very useful piece. The drive tones are not bad, but the pickup is fairly noisy and there's not a lot of brightness to get harmonics or anything for rock music. It didn't have a lot of bite or girth to it though and I can't say it works for any particular style, just as a generic clean tone from a single coil to play on. Plugged into a clean amplifier yielded a bassier, yet still somewhat bright tone that was sort of reminiscent of a Strat. I didn't particularly find the tone all that remarkable. The CBS era of pickups really was not all that stellar. This model is loaded with a single, stock Fender single coil. This guitar is a pretty simple instrument, and that transfers over to its tones. Getting a good sound out of this guitar is not really hard, though it only has the one pickup, and a single coil at that, so you aren't looking at a very versatile ax, just something to do a passable clean and a bassier overdrive tone. The upper fret access is not too bad on these guitars, but it's not great, nor was it intended to be, as most beginners are just tending to play on the lower frets. The CBS era models I've tried tend to be a little clunkier and a bit heavier too, which is just a sign of the times I suppose. It's reasonably lightweight, and the balance of the guitar is pretty good too. Certainly the smaller design was something that would definitely appeal to players with smaller hands or of a more diminutive stature. The design of this guitar is ergonomic enough. The CBS era guitars are much clunkier than their predecessors, which could also mean that contouring in the bodies went away or got more slight. It features an alder body, a maple neck with rosewood fretboard and 22 frets, standard Fender tuners, a hardtail bridge, and a single coil pickup in the neck position wired to a simple volume and tone control set. It also features a shorter scale than your average Strat or Tele, which makes it a cool choice for someone with smaller hands. The Fender Music Master is a guitar that was introduced by Fender in the late fifties to have an instrument that was very simple in the features department (and in the price department) for the younger starting player.
